Those of us who can't live without NASCAR are lucky that it has the shortest offseason of any sport -- about two months, not counting winter testing in January and early February. But having a short offseason doesn't mean that a lot of things don't change from one season to the next.

Plenty of high profile names are changing places this season, from a former champion ending a decade-plus relationship with his team to some complete overhauls at the sport's lower levels. One series announced that it would add dirt and road-course racing for 2013. And with no more top-35 rule, the return of testing, and new cars that look like their street counterparts, this year's Sprint Cup Series feels like a throwback to where the sport was 20 years ago.

So out of all of these changes, which are the most significant?
